Application led July 1, 1920.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that l, JAMES W. INGLn'roN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Astoria, in the county' of Clatsop and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Saw-Sets, of which the following is a specification.

My present invention relates generally to saw sets, and more particularly-to a readily adjustable device of this nature'which is of simple construction, may be conveniently utilized and will Abe durable and effective, and my object is'the provision of an arrangement improved in 'these respects as will be seen from the following description referring to the accompanying drawing, in which- Figure 1 is proved device,

Fig. 2 is a sectional side view,

Fig. 3 is a front elevation.

Fig, 4c is a detail plan view of a fragmentary portion of the device,

Fig. 5 is a detail side viewof a fragmentary portion of the'device,A l

Figs. 6.and 7 are respectively a top plan view and a lfront elevation showing a slightly modified construction,

Fig. 8 is a sideview of the samelpartly broken away and'in section,

Figs: 9, 10 and 11 are `respectively a top plan view, side elevation and bottom plan view ofthe die or anvil shown in the form of Figs. 6, 7 and 8, and

Figs, 12 and 13 are respectively a side viewand a `bottom plan view of the lever.

Referring now tothese figures and more particularly'to Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive my invention proposes asaw set including a T- shaped frame of which the vertically disposed plate'lO may be apertured as'at 11 fo-r connection to the side of'a support (not shown) upon which the rear portion 12 of the upper horizontal plate is adapted to rest. The rear portion of the upper horizontal plate 12 ofthe frame hasupstanding laterally spacedfearsl 13` between which one end of'a curved lever 111 is pivoted. rlhis lever has upon its lower edge and adj acent-to its pivoted end anangular flat saw tooth engaging surface 15 forming a setting jaw` and adapted to beshiftedftoward and away fromV thev angular face 16 of an anvil V17 adjustably mounted in connection with the forward portion 18V of the upper horizontal plate of the frame as particularly seen 1n Figsal and 2: ,Y

'opening and an adjusting screw 21 is journaled through portions of the plate 18 and held against lengthwise movement by a thrust collar 22, this adjusting screw having an inner threaded portion 23 which extends atop plan view lof my iml through the threaded opening of the anvil. The adjusting screw has an outer milled 4head 24 upon rotation of which the anvil is caused to shift inwardly and outwardly in the slot 18 depending upon the direction of such rotation.

IAf-it is so desired the anvil may be rec- -tangular as'indicated at 17a in Fig. 4: with a transverse beveled saw tooth engaging edge 16a across its inner side, the other parts being the same as described in connection with Figs. 1 and 2.

According to either form an adjustable guard 25 of U-shape is disposed on the rear portion 12 of the upper body plate, with slots 26 in its side portions through which clamping screws 27 work into the plate 12 for securing the guard frame in adjusted position. The forwardly projecting extensions 28 of this guard frame are disposed along opposite sides of the forward portion 18 of the upper frame plate and have vertical osets intermediate their ends forming shoulders 29 adapted-to receive the toothed edge of a saw in abutting relation thereagainst, the saw blade resting upon the upper Hat surface of the anvil 17 and upon saw bearing ribs 30 at the outer side portions of plate 18, opposing the outer free ends of the extensions 28 ofthe guard frame which thus coperate with the ribs 30 to hold the saw blade steadily in my improved saw set when the blade is shifted horizontally between the same so as to move its toothed edge inwardlyV over the anvil and against the guard shoulders 29.

of the saw being operated upon and the saw is then shifted to bring the proper teeth suc- Y cessively beneath the lever 1a the latter of cally adjustable screws 31 for the'rigid saw `bearing ribs 30 in order that the effective space between the upper ends of the bearing faces and the free ends of the guard frame extensions may be adjusted to the particular thickness of saw blade being operated upon.

It is also obvious fromthe foregoing that my invention is adaptable by virtue of the adjustments as described, to both cross out and hand saws and may in fact be utilized withV but slight change for saws of various types. Y f

- Referring to the form of the'invention shown in Figs. 6 to 12 inclusive, it will be noted that the frame Y form previously described but is in this Y Zont allyv through instance provided with a forward upwardly opening ltubular anvil holder 35 in which is a cylindrical anvil 36 slidably disposed and lvertically adjustable beneath the lower saw engaging edge 14D of the lever 14, which latter has a slotted head 14 at one end rey inovably engaging a pin 13b between upstanding ears 1 3ZL of therframe. The anvil or die 36 has an upper annular beveled edge Bfvand itslower face 36T isfiat Yand is engagedby the upper inner end of an adjust-` ing thumb screw 37 Vthreaded vertically through the base of the tubular holder 35 of theframe for adjusting the anvil, a second thumb screw 38 being-threaded horithe forward portion of the tubular holder between its upper and lower ends as seen in Figs. 7 and 8 in order Yto clamp the anvil and securely fasten the 'saine in adjusted position. This form of the invention employs aU-shaped guard 25 similarto that of the first described form, the free ends of which coperaterwith saw Y bearing ribs 30a, of the frame.u
